I went to a meeting today.
I was terrified and nearly derailed by various obstacles. But i got there and I went inside this time.
And cried the whole time.
Barely spoke.
Now I have a headache.
Planning to go to another one on Thursday. (This time to the one I drove to but never went in, as its for beginners.)

I am glad you went. All I remember from my first Al Anon meeting is saying my name then crying throughout the meeting. Good thing they were stocked up on Kleenex and what was amazing is that they told me to keep coming back!!
and I did, and the program grew on me and I grew with it.

I always see people crying at my meetings.... old timers and new comers alike. And it is great that we all have that safe space to go to and be heard by others who know....
Good job on getting there! It took me some months to admit to myself that I needed it!

Ahh, the Alanon Crying Jag Headache. Many of us know it well. Maybe they should put set some aspirin out with the kleenex.
Glad you went. Good for you.
